The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 307 Lin Dong’s Weakness

After Yao Ming got the rebound and steadily controlled the rhythm, he handed the ball to Tyronn Lue. Tyronn Lue, who was extremely responsible, made the long-awaited choice after slowly dribbling the ball through the midfield.

The ball is in Jordan's hands.

Lin Dong didn't dare to use Death Coil. He had to save some energy and try to use more conventional defensive methods.

Of course, the impact on Jordan was minimal.

Jordan, who had just returned from a break, gave Lin Dong the feeling that his recovery effect was obviously better than his own.

Frankly speaking, this is incredible. In terms of recovery ability, a 39-year-old person cannot be stronger than his 18-year-old self in any case, but the fact is...

He is the god of basketball after all.

Perhaps the other party has better methods of recovery and relaxation, and knows better how to adjust his own state. These, in turn, are the experience advantages brought by age.

After a simple consumption, Jordan made a strong breakthrough and scored with the lever.

Perhaps because I had played too many downwind games among my peers before, I had unknowingly developed the feeling that a shot must go in.

It's not the kind of blocking where you try your best to block shots, but just block your sight.

Lin Dong stabilized his mind, adapted to the situation, and stood up with a slight backward pull, and Jordan immediately blocked him.

But Payton's intention was to continue to let Lin Dong beat until Lin Dong took the initiative to change.

Faced with Jordan's unreal defense, Lin Dong did not hesitate this time, nor did he choose to delay time. After the two tough backs opened up a little space, they immediately turned into a signature butterfly-like transformation. Towards.

It was almost meaningless to block Lindong's sight of this kind of ball, but when he turned his wrist and shot, Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, facing Jordan's smiling defense that was exactly the same as before, Lin Dong chose to try again.

He doesn't guard you to death. After all, he tried hard in the first half. He can't guard you to death, but he can make you uncomfortable and awkward.

Another reason comes from your own mentality.

SuperSonics possession.

The awkward moment when he shot just now made him a little wary. He could feel that it was because of Jordan's defense, which seemed to be full of flaws. It created the biggest obstacle for him at an extremely strange node, but specifically What, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Jordan seems to know zone very well. Even if he doesn't know the word, he must have thorough research and understanding of this state.

Originally, the outcome of the exhibition game was not important, but if the Sonics can still win after Lin Dong's performance in the first half, then it would undoubtedly be better to write in the newspaper that "the rookie led the team to defeat the Jordan Wizards". The rookie and Jordan battled each other for half a half, which was much more exciting and boosted morale.

Moreover, Payton feels that that guy is not a real lone wolf, and I believe he can learn this soon...

Then think about the smile on Jordan's face when he hit the iron twice before, and think about the awkwardness when he shot the 3-pointer from long range in the first half.

After getting used to it in the first half, Jordan now has a very good understanding of his tricks. He deliberately lets his shots go but not his sudden shots. At the same time, he blocks your offensive route and keeps you out of the penalty area. He seems to think that you are taking mid-range shots. If you don't score, it's tempting you to choose to shoot.

He gave up perfect defense and chose to suppress his shooting percentage on a wider scale.

He knew that part of his accuracy when facing his defense in the first half was based on the zone. He also knew that he would not be able to maintain this state after the second half, so he would rather let go of a shot than a sudden one, because once Being broken through, with Lin Dong's ability to attack the frame, there is no such thing as a hit rate.

A true genius doesn't need others to help him make decisions. Instead of letting him make the 'right choice' according to the coach's way after playing well, it is better to let him learn a lesson after losing in disgrace and make his own judgment about whether it is correct or not.

Both of these can superimpose the DBUFF that reduces the hit rate, which is the reason why I continue to hit the target.

Bang!
Sure enough, the basketball hit the frame again and Yao Ming got the rebound. This time he didn't look for Jordan again.

SuperSonics had the ball, and Lin Dong held the ball again.

Stackhouse and Tyronn Lue rushed down first, and Yao Ming made a long pass as soon as he got the rebound. Although the SuperSonics had Payton to catch up, they still had no room to defend in a two-on-one situation. Stackhouse succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.

Lin Dong finally understood.

Giving him full trust and environment and allowing him to grow on his own is not only the promise Payton made when he recruited Lin Dong, but also what he thinks is the best way.

This feeling can help improve one's self-confidence and shooting percentage most of the time, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, deep down in the heart, a concept of 'perfectionism' has been developed. If you don't have the certainty and opportunity to make a goal, it will be awkward and uncomfortable... This will also further affect your hit rate.

In fact, the scene no longer distinguishes between Wizards and Sonics fans. Regardless of Wizards and Sonics, they have the same weight in the eyes of all fans. Even if the God of Basketball adds a proud little giant from Asia, in the eyes of Dragon Country fans, It can't be more important than a pure-blooded 'Dragon Kingdom Jordan'.

Everyone is looking forward to them deciding a winner. The more intense and exciting the fight, the more excited the fans will be.

With space and distance, Jordan's stability and speed on the lower plate, and knowing Lin Dong's rhythm of changing directions, it is not that easy to pass him.

A quick and ultra-low breakthrough from the left, but after all, he was limited by physical strength. His speed was not as fast as in the first half. Jordan's physical recovery seemed to be better than his own. At this time, he spent his energy on defense. The waxing and waning of one thing has indeed had a great restrictive effect on oneself.

73: 71!

71 flat!
This is the first draw between the two sides since the start.

When Lin Dong took the initiative to distance himself, Jordan seemed to already know what he wanted to do. Instead of continuing to pounce, he took the initiative to take a big step back.

Turning over and leaning back, Jordan blocked Lin Dong's sight as usual, but this simple defense made Lin Dong's feeling of "missing the shot" reappear.

The ball was in Lin Dong's hands again.

According to McMillan at halftime, Lin Dong's performance in the first half has attracted enough attention to the SuperSonics and himself. A newcomer who can face Jordan in the half without inferiority is already a newcomer. The first since Jordan became famous.

But this time...I couldn't get rid of Jordan!

This is good enough, and considering Lin Dong's physical strength, McMillan feels that he can change his tactics and play team basketball in the second half.

No?

And everything Jordan does on defense is centered around this point.

Two reasons.

And if you put it in a harsh way or even take it to an extreme, it means you lack the ability to fight a tough battle.

The wind is as fierce as a god, and the beast against the wind is as strong as a dog.

This is a deeper analysis of the player's psychology. If it hadn't been for the blessing that happened just now, Lin Dong would never have thought of reaching this level.

At this moment he believed what Payton said.

If Payton is a technical defensive master, then Jordan is a psychological defensive master!
This ball cannot be forced. It's just bullshit luck and has no impact on the overall situation. The other party will continue to use this trick against you, and it's impossible to overcome your 'perfectionist psychological barrier' as soon as you understand it. Didn't break the defensive trap Jordan set for himself.

Not to mention failing to make a shot. Although it will not affect his confidence after he understands it, it will further increase Jordan's momentum and his determination to continue using this trick. When the time comes, he will make a decision and when the momentum When the balance of fortune and luck are all tilted towards Jordan, it will be even more difficult for him to get back.

But at this time, almost everyone on the court was standing still watching the two of them duel. It seemed that they had no intention of intervening, and no one could come up to respond... No!

Lin Dong suddenly caught a glimpse of the only 'strange' figure on the field. Even though from the first half, everyone knew that this was a duel between Lin Dong and Jordan, most people chose to watch, but this was the only one. The guy has been steadily moving, participating in this duel in his own 'world'.

Even though he was ignored countless times by Lin Dong, even though the whole game was running in vain, and even though Jordan was given a foul and a free throw in the first half when running in vain, this guy still didn't stop.

At this time, Lin Dong was already falling. He grabbed the basketball with his right hand that had already made a shooting posture and suddenly took it back. Then he passed through Jordan's armpit and threw it high towards the basket.

Shooting?

Yao Ming and Chandler were tightly packed together. They looked at the direction of the basketball and it seemed that it was a little skewed, heading towards the right side of the backboard.

"Rebound!"

Jordan turned and shouted.

My judgment on Lin Dong is correct. It is a psychological detail that is difficult to discover. In fact, even the most professional psychologists cannot see it at such a level, because even if they understand people's hearts, they can't see it. Don't understand basketball.

But Jordan understands...because of this psychological barrier of perfectionism, he has also experienced it!
This kind of person will get stronger when he encounters strength. If you keep giving him strength, no matter how strong you are, he will eventually adapt and grow rapidly.

But if you relax him a little bit, as long as you hit that node just right, he will be confused. In addition, he is still in the 'State 2' stage. Without the blessing of the invincible state, his mid-range hit rate will be inevitable. It will decline, and if it declines a few more times, he will have doubts about himself and more fear of God...

Just now, Lin Dong gave up a more comfortable shooting method and switched to a floater, which is enough to show that he has lost confidence in this mid-range shot.

There was a smile on Jordan's lips. It took him nearly two years to understand this truth. He knew how to deal with his younger self.

A bright light flashed in Dayao's eyes. He looked at the basketball's route and immediately found Chandler in the best position.

But next second...

A dark green jersey suddenly rose into the sky in front of his eyes, and a huge number appeared in front of Dayao's eyes.

Number 10!
He jumped so high that his head was completely flat!

The two big hands stretched out like ape arms and grabbed in the air.

Jordan's pupils suddenly shrank when he turned around.

Not shooting? Is it a pass? !
Jordan's expression froze.

Frankly speaking, he had thought about the possibility of Lin Dong discovering the problem, and he had thought that Lin Dong had a thousand options to deal with it, because these were all the efforts he had made to overcome this problem.

But he never thought that this guy would actually choose to pass the ball!

As a young man who had fought fiercely with him for half the game, seeing the honor of defeating the God of Basketball right in front of him, he actually said he could just let it go?

How could he tolerate some impurities in this victory?
This……

Snapped!
Before the basketball could touch the backboard, the leaping figure had already caught the basketball in the air, followed by a dunk.

boom!
The alley-oop scored, 73 tied!
Everyone on the field was stunned.

Sakuragi Hanamichi? How did that guy end up there? Where's Jeffress?

Jeffress's face was red. He had just been watching the one-on-one between Jordan and the Sonics rookie, and he didn't notice that the redhead he was following actually slipped away to the basket.

MD, can you blame me... Frankly speaking, Jeffress is also quite depressed.

After the whole game, everyone was watching the one-on-one duel. They just stared at this living treasure who insisted on running around. He even ran with him for a while in the first half, but running around was in vain. The two of them didn't pass the ball at all, which made their following look particularly stupid, so they simply didn't bother to follow. Who would have thought that one of them would suddenly be missed.

"Wahahahaha!" Sakuragi Hanamichi succeeded in the alley-oop and laughed proudly: "The battle was successful! I just said there is a chance!"

"Wow wow wow wow! Genius Sakuragi has got some points!"

"There's another Hanamichi!" The Sakuragi Legion who followed from the stands howled excitedly.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

Lin Dong also laughed, stretched out his palm towards Sakuragi who was running over, and the two of them slapped each other hard.

Jordan looked at Lin Dong with a hint of teasing in the corner of his mouth: "Boy, you are not tough enough. If it were me when I was young, I would definitely choose to fight to the end."

"What about now?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.

Jordan was startled, and then a smile appeared on his face, followed by laughter.

He has always regarded Lin Dong as a junior, an 18-year-old rookie, even though he already has the qualifications and strength to challenge himself, and even in Jordan's mind, he has elevated Lin Dong to the point where he can compete with his younger self. The situation, but it still can't change the fact that he is still a child.

There are too many methods that can be used to deal with a child, and psychology is the most vulnerable point for them to be broken through.

But now...

"I just want to win. I don't want to lose at any time." Lin Dong said, "Even if this is just an exhibition match."

"What a coincidence, so am I." Jordan finally had a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

This guy not only has the skills of his youth, but also the mentality of his elders.

It seems that it is difficult to defeat this guy with psychological tactics, so we can only fight hand-to-hand, and the bayonet will see red!

There was no longer any ridicule in Jordan's eyes, and all that was left was fighting spirit. The 'injury risk' mentioned by the team doctor was completely forgotten at this moment.

Now that Lin Dong has realized his own problem and started to choose to pass the ball without any psychological barriers, then if he uses the virtual and real defensive method next, the effect will not be as good as before, and when the opponent After he starts passing the ball, his defense will become more difficult, which will make this young man become 'accurate' again.

I also have to change my approach... If I continue to fight one another, that's just an over-the-top way of thinking.

Only leading the team to win will become the only criterion for determining the outcome of each other.

"Come on, boy!" Jordan's eyes flashed with strong fighting spirit and excitement: "If you can make God go all out, even if you lose in the end, it will be enough for you to be glorious!"
